There's a chill in the air, the leaves are starting to change and along with it comes the annual family favorite: Ghost Train at Burke Lake Park. Join in the fun this Halloween! Volunteers transform the Burke Lake Park miniature train ride into a family-friendly adventure for children and adults of all ages. Take delight in seeing your favorite nursery rhymes and bedtime stories come to life along the Fairytale Loop and see if you can spot a friendly ghost in Ghost Hollow.
Families can enjoy several other activities in addition to the train ride, including the moon bounce, carousel, and pumpkin painting. Food and drink are also available inside the Ice Cream Parlor. Be sure to dress for the occasion with your favorite Halloween costume. Ghost Train runs Saturday and Sunday, October 26-27 10 am to 6 pm (last tickets sold at 4 pm).
Burke Lake Park is located at 7315 Ox Road, Fairfax Station, VA. For more information visit http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/burkelakepark/ *Youth volunteers ages 14-16 must be accompanied by a registered parent.
Purpose: To provide Halloween fun for families in your community and create lasting memories for all.

Mission Statement
Volunteer Fairfax is a private nonprofit organization founded in 1975. For the past 45 years, our mission has been to create a better community through service, to mobilize people and resources to benefit the community and to connect individuals, youth, groups and corporations to volunteer opportunities.
Description
As the regional volunteer center for the National Capital region, Volunteer Fairfax serves the community in a wide variety of ways.
We provide Information and Referral services to community residents interested in volunteering through VolunteerNow. Individuals may also become engaged though a variety of service programs the Center offers including Volunteers for Change, which provides evening and weekend volunteer projects for busy adults; RSVP, a service program that invites people who are 55+ to engage in their community; and, Volunteer Emergency Management Team, a group of volunteers specially trained and prepared to help the community in the event of a disaster. Additionally, for those seeking opportunities to serve court-appointed hours, we have established the Alternative Community Service Program.
Volunteer Fairfax regularly hosts special events and invites youth and families to volunteer together. These volunteer special events include VolunteerFest in October and Give Together in January on the Martin Luther King Day of Service.
Volunteer Fairfax supports both nonprofits and for-profit organizations. To learn more about our services check out our website, www.volunteerfairfax.org.
